Features and history
The Center also features L.A. Fitness, El Torito, T.G.I. Fridays, Carl's Jr. BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse, and Krispy Kreme Doughnuts located on its periphery in its parking lots.
From 1970 to 1996, the site was home to an enclosed mall called The City Shopping Center, featuring anchor stores May Company California and JC Penney, anchoring The City edge city complex. Several streets around the site still have "City" in their names because they were built as part of that complex. Mills purchased the site, originally considering conversion to an outlet mall named "CityMills," but instead built a mix of retail and outlet stores. The center's old slogan was The Block at Orange... It Ain't Square. It was The Mills Corporation's first outdoor mall not to have the "Mills" name. The Block official opened in November 1998.
The former Virgin Megastore was featured in Borat where Borat attempts to kidnap Pamela Anderson.
Three of the former shopping center (The Block at Orange) tenants closed in 2008 and 2009. Virgin Megastore, Steve and Barry's, Hilo Hattie, Koji's Sushi and Ron Jon Surf Shop who left the center due to expiring lease agreements, and Steve & Barry's closed following its company-wide liquidation. These anchors were replaced with the Neiman Marcus Last Call store, Off Broadway Shoes, H&M, Thrill It Fun Center and Guitar Center.
In 2011, The Block at Orange was renamed The Outlets at Orange.
